SUPER FRIENDLY AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! I am new to computers and their internal workings. They are able to explain the pros and cons of certain upgrades and are able to steer you in the right direction for your needs. Will definitely be returning not only for repairs but also more knowledge!! Thank you so much!!!

Charlotte was very helpful diagnosing and fixing an issue with my power supply. It took a very short amount of time and the staff are very knowledgeable about their work.

Central computers is my "go to" place for computer help and computer needs. In particular, Charlotte is always there to help. And Austin showed me how to deal with a new computer. He helped me to reformat the whole computer. thanks all for your help

I always check here before buying on Amazon because their prices are competitive and supporting a local business is always a good idea. The staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. You can ask a bunch of questions and even if you don't walk out with anything, they're happy to help.

I needed a bit of mildly uncommon networking hardware, an SFP to Ethernet adaptor/transceiver. Easily solved on Amazon, but that would mean waiting at least a day if not three. I stopped by Central Computer and was helped by Charlotte, who was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Turned out Central Computer had a selection of SFP to Ethernet transceivers. Charlotte was quick to admit she wasn't an expert on SFP transceivers which I appreciated, but was generally very knowledgeable about networking hardware, and patiently helped me select the most cost effective and best fit for my application. The boxes weren't priced, and cryptic model/part numbers were practically the only way to tell them apart. The pricing on the display tags was jumbled and Charlotte took the time to help me match up capabilities to part numbers, to prices. Bottom line: I was able to count on Central Computer to have something big box computer stores would never have, at a great price and with excellent service. I'll be back for sure!

Young guy at the counter was rude and condescending, unwilling and uninterested to help find a part for laptop. I thought they did computer repair here? Bad customer service is bad for business.

They have saved the day a few times for me. They have always had what I was looking for so YES, I'd recommend this shop!

This place was great. Staff was helpful and friendly although they were busy when I went in in the weekend. But big shout out to Carter who spotted me walking around looking for help. I had bought a bunch of random parts and he was kind and knowledgeable enough to walk me through my build and suggest upgrades and cost savings on some parts for like 30 minutes explaining every thing, which is what I was looking for since this was my first PC build and I am a novice.I ended up walking out with a much better rig than I would have had I not talked it through with Carter. I can highly recommend getting any parts or PC builds done at Central Computers especially if you are new or just getting in to PCs.

This place has a wide selection of products to choose from - kind of like the way Fry's computer components department was. The prices seen to be competitive. I visited just to get a USB CD/DVD drive, but after looking around I will come back to get components to build my next system. Did I mention they stock a lot of Asus components? Don't know what else I can add.

Had a self-built PC with a damaged part. They very quickly identified the problem and help me find replacements for the part I needed, all the while being very helpful when further issues popped up.

Getting ready to work remotely at my son's home when I realized the laptop charger I brought cross country was for an older Lenovo and not compatible. Being a Sunday the day before I needed to work remotely, I would have been SOL back in NC. These San Mateo guys were great. Found me the needed, custom 170w Lenovo charger and made sure it was compatible and would charge my laptop. Damon and Carter were lifesavers since I was looking at maybe having to burn PTO days without a viable laptop. Kudos! Great work guys!

This is THE go-to store for all of your tech needs! :)I have been coming here for the past two years since I moved to the peninsula. My boyfriend helped build my first PC and this is where he obtained all of the parts. Amazing price, high quality, and really, really wonderful people working here. All of the guys I've met here are super knowledgeable and won't try to sell you things that you don't need. They are more than able to tailor your build to fit you and what you're looking for!My most recent purchase involved a Barebones Keychron V6 that needed to be transferred from one of their other locations. Placing the order was super quick and easy through Damon on the phone. It was ready to be picked up the next day! I also chose my keycaps on their website - which was very accurate in terms of showing what they had in stock - and selected my Deep Sea switches in person, where they have a huge selection under their custom model keyboard (that helps you see what switches you might prefer).We will always frequent here and recommend everyone we know to come here for custom builds, recommendations, or any tech-related questions.

Very knowledgeable staff, very helpful and very patient with non-technical people. Their frequent shopper card is handy and they have in-house net 30 terms for businesses. They also have PC repairs and custom builds on sale or you can design your own and they will build it for you. Great place to buy computer stuff but they don't have sodas... They need a small fridge for sodas. They could make bank selling sodas to all us computer techs. Gotta stay awake!
